CU has identified an important need to focus on our youth pipeline for the long-term growth of ultimate in our region and the longevity of our organization. We're consciously making that effort to grow our youth ultimate offerings with our recent hire, Nick Betsch as Youth Coordinator. While taking on CU's existing youth programs, Nick will also work to grow more program options for youth ages 8-18. 

Ultimate is a great sport for young kids to learn, as it puts a heavy focus on sportsmanship and important values through its use of self-officiation. 

See below for our options for youth opportunities!

Youth Ultimate Cincinnati (YUC)

YUC is a way for the youth of Cincinnati to get out and learn/play ultimate frisbee. It is coached by volunteers of parents, league players, and club/college teams around the area. Its a great way to learn and have fun!

Cincinnati Ultimate Select Program (CUSP)

CUSP is a select team for Cincinnati that competes around the USA for youth competition.

You can also view the Youth Leagues page for any current or future leagues, clinics, or events. 

Youth Coaches Needed! 

We have a number of high school teams that need coaches for this school year. Youth Coaching is a great way to give back to the community and doesn't require experienced ultimate knowledge. All you need is enthusiasm and some general knowledge of the sport.

Most teams practice one or two days a week and all teams play league games on Sunday afternoons. Below are some schools in need of help, along with practice times and best contacts if you're interested or have other questions.
